About Twin Lakes Recovery Center
Twin Lakes Recovery Center sits on a rural campus along Highway 11 in Monroe, Georgia, about an hour’s drive from Atlanta. The Joint Commission and CARF-accredited program was named to Newsweek’s America’s Best Addiction Treatment Centers list for 2025 and is owned by Summit BHC. Twin Lakes pairs the calm of a Georgia farmland setting – complete with therapy animals, fishing, and quiet outdoor space – with the clinical rigor of a multidisciplinary team that includes physicians, nurses, addiction counselors, and licensed therapists.
Clinical services run from acute detox through residential care and into intensive outpatient follow-up. Adults entering Twin Lakes are evaluated for medically supervised withdrawal management in the on-site detox unit, then transition into the residential program, where individual therapy, group therapy, Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), medication-assisted treatment, and experiential therapy form the daily structure. Step-down Intensive Outpatient Programming is delivered from Twin Lakes’ Gainesville, GA location for clients who are returning home but still need structured support.
The program treats the full range of substance use disorders, including alcohol, cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, marijuana, prescription drugs, benzodiazepines, and fentanyl, as well as co-occurring mental health conditions. Specialty tracks include a dedicated Veteran and First Responder program with a peer group led by Mr. Park, and a Family Recovery Program that brings loved ones into the treatment process. The Alumni Program, regular alumni events, weekly aftercare meetings, and the CaredFor mobile app keep clients connected to the Twin Lakes community after discharge.
Twin Lakes accepts most major commercial insurance plans and self-pay. The program does not accept Ambetter or Medicaid – prospective clients should call the admissions line at (770) 202-2212 to verify benefits. With a setting that earns 4.3 stars across nearly 200 Google reviews, Newsweek recognition, and dual CARF and Joint Commission accreditation, Twin Lakes is one of the highest-regarded residential addiction programs in north Georgia.
